Fine for matching pairs or card sort

This is a simple resource of matching pairs. Fine for revision- can be used as matching cards or as flashcards/ sequencing. I use this type of activity as part of a standard repertoire for a starter or a plenary for fact-based learning. It may not be trendy- but assimilating facts is pretty-much the cornerstone of chemistry learning, but pupils don't like it. This sort of activity makes it more entertaining, and with bigger classes you can do it as a race. I have small classes sources so I do it as a timed exercise over successive lessons.

Complete lesson with activities, questions, supplementary notes, web links integrated into the Lesson Objective page. Used as prep for my SL IB DP pupils, but equally fine for GCSE. Can be used as prep, FOFO, revision, to support class notes, as a cover lesson or alongside a textbook. Includes weblinks and questions. Differentiation by outcome.

Written to encourage Independent learning. An editable worksheet for the IB DP syllabus with weblinks, activities and questions suitable for FOFO, HW or best as a prep for lessons (if you want to be trendy you can call it a "flipped"classroom, if you're like me you'll just call it prep or even good teaching). Can be used as extension activity for good, pre-IB pupils.

This is used for pupils with english as a second language and no knowledge of chemistry prior. It covers lab safety, physical and chemical changes and separation of mixtures. Can be split down into individual worksheets

I use this as a data management tool to get the pupils taking responsibility for their applications. I prefer pupils to fill in the columns in the table, so I just have to monitor the application via google docs.

A basic admin tool to get pupils taking responsibility for their university applications. Fine for PSHE, for Mentor tutors, careers advisors etc etc. I link to each pupil's page on a google document, that includes their Personal Statement framework, an excel document to manage applications and various commercially-available publications. get the pupils doing more, so you only have to monitor.

This is a simple writing frame that I use to get pupils STARTED on the Personal Statement. I find getting them going to be the hardest point- once they have stuff I can work with it, but frequently they don't get going (or bibble on about their passion and their character-developing Peruvian-nose-flute voluntourist trips to the amazon; frankly, that's just tedious- less passion, more penetration please). So I wrote a really basic guide. It works well with all abilities as it's simple and clear. IT IS NOT FOR THE US THOUGH, they care much more about aforementioned Peruvian-nose-flute self development...

An editable resource for educating GIRLS about body image and how what you see is often impossible to achieve. Includes LINKSs to youtube videos (can easily be embedded). Note- there is an excellent MALE version of the same video by DOVE, showing male body distortions by photoshop. Used as a lesson, equally powerful as an assembly

Fine for KS4 KS5. Written for IB DP

A resource developed for the IB DP HL topic 15, energy changes, but also fine for A level or extension activities. Essentially I use it as a pair match activity- it works nicely as a small group activity- especially if you then get the pupils to sequence the cards.

A nice independent research project written for the IDBP syllabus, but also used as Oxbridge and year 1 medical prep. It is essentially a research exercise looking at drugs and drug development. Can be used as Prep, or Homework, or, as a FOFO lesson if you have to set cover.
